It gives me great pleasure to announce that Cordite 33.1: Creative Commons – The Remixes is now online, featuring thirty new works inspired by and based upon the poems published in our Creative Commons issue.

Contributing remixers include Lawrence Upton, Nathan Shepherdson, Stuart Cooke, Susan McMichael, Ashley Capes, Corey Wakeling, Chris Beckett, Francesco Levato, Bella Li, Maria Zajkowski, Anne Gorrick, Charles D’Anastasi, Nick Whittock, klare lanson, Rebecca Landon, Josh Mei-Ling Dubrau, Pascalle Burton, Carol Chan, Gillian Cameron, Chris Oakey, Sam Twyford-Moore, Adam Formosa, Stu Hatton, Mariana Isara, Dianne Cikusa and Oritsegbemi Emmanuel Jakpa.

My thanks to guest poetry editor Alison Croggon for her efforts – first in selecting the poems featured in Creative Commons, and secondly for the undoubtedly slightly confusing job of selecting the remixes. For the low-down on Alison’s impressions of the poetry selected in the two issues, read her editorial.

Plus, submissions are now open for Cordite 34: Children of Malley II! Send us up to five poems on the theme of Ern Malley before October 15 for your chance to enter the Malley canon! Get the full details, including a link to the Cordite online submission form!

Cordite 33: Creative Commons

Now that the major effort is over and the social media sites have been updated it’s time to note, for the benefit of the Dreamnation’s single reader, the release of Cordite 33: Creative Commons.

Our guest poetry editor for the issue is Alison Croggon, and she’s done a great job selecting a bustling swag of new poems. In addition, our features editor Matthew Hall has assembled a stellar collection of essays, interviews and feature articles; and our spoken word editor Emilie Zoey Baker has done the same, selecting six slick audio tracks for your aural pleasure. In further addition there’s the usual assortment of reviews, images, news items and so on and so on. Check it out. Last but not least, we’re now inviting remixes of the issue – get all the DJ details here.

I’m really proud of this issue, not least because I’ve been working overtime on a re-design of the site and while it ain’t perfect, it’s a lot better than our clunky old WordPress default theme mod. That being said, I’d like to pay tribute to afore-mentioned clunky old default theme mod, in the knowledge that from today onwards the only record of its passing will be found within the NLA’s Pandora Archives, and here:

We will never see the likes of it again.
